Devices or features that retain trash, debris and sediment, oil and grease; help to prevent obstructions and [[clogging]] of the infiltration area. Examples are eavestrough screens, [[Pretreatment|catch basin]] inserts (screens, baffles, fitlers) and sumps, [[oil and grit separators]], [[inlets|geotextile-lined inlets]], filters, isolator rows, and water quality [[forebay]] units.
